Ast and sch procs

[deusdormit]

Just curious. Does anyone else miss the ast proc for an instant benefic 2 and think that sch should get the crit proc instead for their shields? That would be so boss for deployment tactics and i miss throwing out so many instant casts for ast

[deusdormit]

It would be nice if the instant was held indefinanately until used. It would be more skillfull to decide to hold it as an oh sh*t button. I think for identity i would like to see ast move toward its time mage aspect as a weaker speed demon and away from a hybrid and scooting sch toward shields again

[deusdormit]

I mean, I can't be the only one who orgasmed when ast came out and the other healer was down and the tank is getting pummeled and you benefic>insta benific2>essential dignity>aspected benefic>swiftcast>ascend the other healer > I felt like a bursting speed healer who just snorted redbull

Guaranteed crit benefic 2 is a LOT more useful than an instant-cast one. It makes me a lot more confident to let the tank's HP drop a bit more, and I can always pop Lightspeed for weaving ogcd skills in.

[deusdormit]

I know but... I always feel gulity because i know deep down it would have made more sense for sch

[Elamys]

I was just thinking about how much I missed instant Benefic 2 yesterday. It kind of made sense for AST's time-based aspects, but a guaranteed crit is a bit better, I guess.

Also don't get me wrong i love lightspeed but i hate healing people up then twiddling my thumbs waiting for it to fall off before i can dps so im not wasting mp on sub par deeps

[WayofTime]

If I don't need all of Lightspeed's casts I'll just click it off. Much better than waiting for it to fall off naturally if you need to throw the deeps.

[deusdormit]

Ooh thats good. Um im on ps4 but if you can click off im sure making a macro for lightspeed off will work. Thanks for the info

If I remember correctly, the dev team removed insta-cast of BeneII because when you queue it after BeneI it wouldn't proc in time to use it as instant. Like this:

Charge BeneI -> Cast BeneI -> Queue BeneII -> Charge BeneII -> BeneII procs -> Cast BeneII -> proc goes with the cast.

It was frustrating and they removed it...

They also said something similar was happening to Fire/FireIII, but they said they made adjustments to it. I think it works fine, but I couldn't say for sure since I don't usually queue Fire->FireIII, I usually queue Fire -> FireIV...
